ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jared Spurgeon scored 1:00 into overtime and the Minnesota Wild beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Saturday night. Kirill Kaprizov and Declan Chisholm also scored for the Wild, who are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. Filip Gustavsson stopped 25 shots. Fedor Svechkov and Ryan O’Reilly scored and Roman Josi had two assists for the Predators, who have lost four in a row — the last three in overtime. Juuse Saros had 25 saves. Spurgeon, who scored twice in Friday's win against Chicago, took a pass from Kaprizov in the slot and fired a high wrist shot that beat Saros for his third of the season. Takeaways Predators: Nashville is tied for the fewest road wins in the league with two, and this loss kicked off a four-game road swing that also includes stops in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. Wild: For the second time in two nights, the Wild struggled to put away one of the bottom-dwellers in the Central Division. But they ran their record to 5-1-2 when tied after two periods and got just their second overtime win in six chances this season. Key moment With 3:44 to play in the third period, Zachary L'Heureux broke in alone on Gustavsson, but the Wild goalie kicked aside a wrist shot to keep the score tied.

Bamboo Technology's HereHear Virtual AI Therapist Joins Berkeley Skydeck IPP ProgramA Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 dev has explained why some movement mechanics were nerfed after Modern Warfare 2019. While the new Black Ops title’s Omnimovement mechanics have proven a game-changer, players can’t help but notice a few subtle differences in movement speed between it and previous Call of Duty entries. Modern Warfare 2019 appears to be the sweet spot for many, thanks in large part to the quicker pace of its bob/sway and prone/crouch motions. Tiktok user byefredo (via blaugranazsn on Twitter/X ) made a video comparing the two systems, specifically demonstrating the 2019 game’s quicker movement speeds. Treyarch dev defends Black Ops 6’s slower movement In response to YouTuber TCaptainX questioning Black Ops 6’s comparatively “slow and clunky” mechanics, Treyarch Associate Director Matt Scronce explained why the changes were necessary. According to the developer, overly fast prone and crouch speeds result in a “mismatch between [the] 1st and 3rd person POV,” which then leads to players abusing the controversial snaking tactic . Better balancing the overall experience also contributed to the bob and sway adjustments, since users spamming jump has long been a problem in several shooters. Scronce wrote in part, “...we adjusted sway/bob when jumping by default to ensure that wasn’t the most effective tactic during engagements.” He further noted that players who like spamming jump while shooting can use different Attachments and Perks to “increase effectiveness” in that regard. For example, Black Ops 6’s Dexterity Perk will reduce a weapon’s motion while diving, jumping, and sliding. Related: Since Call of Duty as a whole regularly receives tweaks, there’s no telling how movement in CoD 2025 will differ from that of Black Ops 6. Interestingly, leaks claim developers plan on revamping Omnimovement for 2025 , specifically to introduce a “little” wall jump maneuver. The veracity of such reports remains in question, though, since nothing concrete is known about the next entry.
Pair of original MLS clubs to play for Cup titleStarmer says ‘bulging benefits bill’ is ‘blighting our society’
Support for Kemi Badenoch is almost as strong among Reform UK supporters as within the Tory tribe, the latest Savanta polling shows. Fifty-nine per cent of people who voted Tory in the summer election think she would make a better prime minister than Sir Keir Starmer , as do 57 per cent of those who voted Reform. A key challenge for the Tory leader is winning over people who supported Nigel Farage ’s party in July. Just four per cent of Reform backers think Sir Keir would be the finer PM, with the rest undecided. Among all respondents, 39 per cent think the Labour leader has what it takes to be the best prime minister, with 26 per cent opting for Mrs Badenoch. However, Chris Hopkins, political research director at Savanta, saw a silver lining for the Tory leader, suggesting this “isn’t a bad position to start from”. He said that “Starmer trailed Boris Johnson by more than 20 points at the start of his own tenure as party leader”. While 41 per cent of Britons said they disliked both Sir Keir and his policies, just 29 per cent said this of Mrs Badenoch. And 37 per cent disliked both the Labour leader and his party, with one in three saying this of the leader of the opposition. Mr Hopkins said: “At the start of Starmer’s tenure, just 23 per cent of the public said they disliked both Starmer and his party, 10 points lower than it is for Badenoch now. Reversing your own party’s fortunes from opposition is easier said than done, but will be made harder for Badenoch by her own low personal favourability down at -10. “Badenoch needs the vast majority of people still to make up their minds about her to end up actively liking her, and history tells us that almost no politician ends up achieving such a feat.” Exclusive polling by Ipsos shows one of the biggest challenges facing the Tory frontbench is invisibility. Nearly half of Britons (46 per cent) could not recall reading or hearing about leading Conservatives other than Mrs Badenoch “in the past couple of weeks”. Priti Patel, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, had the highest profile, with 32 per cent saying they had noticed her. She was quickly followed by Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick (31 per cent), with Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride (15 per cent), Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott (12 per cent) and Shadow Environment Secretary Victoria Atkins (seven per cent) coming in further behind. The polling conducted on November 8-11 found only one in 25 people could remember Shadow Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho or Shadow Leader of the Commons Jesse Norman coming onto their radar. Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury Richard Fuller made an impression on just three per cent of respondents. And a mere one in 50 had noticed the likes of Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge or Science Secretary Alan Mak. Mrs Badenoch will hope that as the MPs bed into their shadow cabinet roles and take on Sir Keir’s team their profiles will rise. A former Tory minister acknowledged the difficulty of winning the limelight after a lost election, saying: “It’s never easy because governments get all the attention, particularly in the wake of elections. We’re still in that period where everyone is interested in the Government. “That’s the price you pay for going into Opposition.” The highest-profile Labour MP other than the Prime Minister was Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Nearly half of people (48 per cent) had read or heard about her recently. The next most prominent were Deputy PM Angela Rayner (36 per cent), Foreign Secretary David Lammy (35 per cent), Shadow Energy Secretary Ed Miliband (27 per cent), and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Health Secretary Wes Streeting (both 26 per cent).CARSON, Calif. (AP) — The LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls have been Major League Soccer mainstays since the league's inaugural season in 1996, signing glamorous players and regularly competing for championships through years of success and setbacks in a league that's perpetually improving and expanding. Yet just a year ago, both of these clubs appeared to be a very long way from the stage they'll share Saturday in the . were one of MLS’ worst teams after a season of internal turmoil and public fan dissent, while were merely a steady mediocrity seeking yet another coach to chart a new direction. A year later, these MLS founders are meeting in the league's first Cup final between teams from North America's two biggest markets. “Two original clubs being able to put themselves in this situation, I think it’s great,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “To see two clubs that have been at it as long as this league has been around be here, I think it’s a special moment. Couldn’t be two more different and contrasting styles as well, which could make for an interesting game, and I would imagine a high-intensity game.” , who are favored to cap their transformation by winning their team's record sixth MLS championship with a roster that's dramatically different from its past few groups — albeit with one massive injury absence in the final. The transformation of the Red Bulls happened only in the postseason, when a team that hadn't won a playoff game since 2017 suddenly turned into world-beaters under rookie coach Sandro Schwarz. New York struggled through the final three months of league play with only two wins before posting road playoff victories over , and to storm into the Cup final. “We know about the history (of our club), and we know tomorrow will define what that could mean,” Schwarz said Friday. “To feel the pressure for tomorrow, it’s necessary, because it’s a final, and without pressure it’s not possible to bring the best quality on the field.” The Red Bulls have never won an MLS Cup, only reaching the championship match once before. What's more, they've somehow never won a Cup in any tournament, although they’ve collected three Supporters’ Shields for MLS' best regular-season record. The Galaxy’s trophy case is large and loaded, and those five MLS Cups are on the top shelf. But not much of that team success happened in the past decade for the club that famously brought David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and many other international stars to Hollywood. In fact, this season has ended a grim era for the Galaxy, who haven't lost all year at their frequently renamed home stadium — which was the site of protests and boycotts just a year ago. The club's fans were tired of LA's steady underachievement and ineptitude in the front office run by team president Chris Klein, who was fired in May 2023. One year ago Thursday, the Galaxy hired Will Kuntz, a longtime Los Angeles FC executive who engineered his new club's roster transformation, most dramatically by landing new designated players Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil — two international talents that LAFC also had in its sights. “I give Will and the group up there a ton of credit,” Vanney said. “It’s one thing to have players you like, and it’s a whole other thing to get them here and get them to connect with your group.” Pec and Paintsil combined for 32 goals and 27 assists while boosting the incumbent talents of striker Dejan Joveljic and Riqui Puig, the gifted Barcelona product who runs the offense from the midfield. The Galaxy clicked in the postseason, scoring a jaw-dropping 16 goals in four matches. Puig has been the Galaxy's most important player all season, but he won't be in the MLS Cup Final after tearing a knee ligament late in last week's . The loss of Puig — who somehow kept playing on his injured knee, and even delivered the game-winning pass to Joveljic — makes the Galaxy even more difficult to anticipate. “He played a lot in the regular season, so it was not so easy to analyze all these games now without him,” Schwarz said. “But the main focus is to analyze what we need to do, because it’s not clear now how they’re playing without him.” The Galaxy could give some of Puig's responsibilities to Marco Reus, the longtime Dortmund standout who joined LA in August. Reus is nursing a hamstring injury, but Vanney expects him to play. ___ AP soccer: Greg Beacham, The Associated Press

Courtland Sutton's surge is helping rookie Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos make a playoff push
Guwahati: The ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) achieved a clean sweep in the Assam Assembly bypolls, winning all five constituencies on Saturday. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma hailed the victory as a reflection of the people’s support for good governance and development. Expressing gratitude to the voters, Sarma emphasized his commitment to the state's progress. We bow in gratitude to the people of Assam. The NDA's 5/5 victory in these by-elections is a resounding testament to Assam's unwavering support for Adarniya @narendramodi Ji’s vision of good governance and development, the Chief Minister posted on X. He also applauded the BJP's grassroots workers for effectively communicating the government’s development agenda. The BJP contested the Samaguri, Behali, and Dholai constituencies, while its allies, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), fielded candidates in Bongaigaon and Sidli, respectively. AGP and UPPL candidates secured victories in their respective seats, while the BJP candidates triumphed in Behali and were poised to win Samaguri and Dholai with comfortable leads. BJP General Secretary and MP Dilip Saikia expressed satisfaction with the results, highlighting the victory in Samaguri as particularly significant. Samaguri, a Congress stronghold historically dominated by Rockybul Hussain's family, was a tough challenge. However, our candidate Diplu Ranjan’s victory over Tanzil marks a major shift and breaks the political dynasty in the region,Saikia said. State Minister Bimal Bora attributed the NDA’s success to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and inclusive development agenda. Since 2014, PM Modi’s vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' has resonated with the people. Various welfare schemes introduced by the BJP government have gained widespread support across the country, Bora said, adding that similar voter sentiment was being observed in other states like Maharashtra. The NDA’s sweeping victory in Assam reflects its continued dominance in the state, bolstered by its developmental policies and robust grassroots organisation.

Or even better, raise them from the ashes? Scientists in the United States have suggested doing exactly that to boost the nation’s supply of rare earth elements. Researchers, co-led by Bridget Scanlon of The University of Texas at Austin (UT), have found that up to 11 million tons of rare earth elements could be extracted from coal ash in the U.S., a waste product of coal burning. That’s almost eight times the amount of rare earth elements currently in domestic reserves. Their findings, detailed in a September 17 study in the International Journal of Coal Science & Technology , highlight that this approach could significantly reinforce national supplies without the need for further mining . “This really exemplifies the ‘trash to treasure’ mantra,” Scanlon said in a UT statement . Rare earth elements are 17 elements crucial to many technologies, including smartphones, flat-screen TVs, computer monitors, batteries, magnets, offshore wind turbines , and solar panels. The U.S. imports most of its rare earth element supply from abroad, with 75% coming from China, according to the statement. The new study, however, suggests that coal ash in the U.S. could supply $8.4 billion worth of rare earth elements. “There’s huge volumes of this stuff all over the country,” said Davin Bagdonas of the University of Wyoming, who also participated in the study. “And the upfront process of extracting the (mineral host) is already taken care of for us.” Various aspects, like place of origin, determine the amount of rare earth elements in a particular coal ash supply as well as how much of it can be extracted, as detailed in the study. For instance, coal ash from the Appalachian Basin has a higher amount of rare earth elements than coal ash from the Powder River Basin, though a higher percentage of rare earth elements can be extracted from the latter than from the former. In general, there are lower amounts of rare earth elements in coal ash than in geological deposits, but the researchers point out an obvious advantage: The U.S. has large quantities of coal ash within its own borders. From the total coal ash the U.S. produced from 1985 to 2021, 1.873 billion tons could be recovered from disposal locations such as landfills and ponds. “The idea of getting rare earth elements out of tailings (mining by-products) just makes a lot of sense. It’s a common-sense approach,” said Chris Young, the chief strategy officer at Element USA, a company that extracts minerals from aluminum industry waste. “The challenge is to convert that common-sense approach to an economic approach.” In fact, researchers are still testing the viability of this method. It remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to make use of the (literal) ashes of the past.
Anthony Albanese's nemesis breaks down on live TV - as Greens suffer a major blow Greens MP breaks down over housing Says he has friends evicted over rent READ MORE: Anthony Albanese's nemesis issues fresh ultimatum By DAVID SOUTHWELL FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 23:23, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:28, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather became emotional as he spoke about how the housing crisis is impacting his generation after being accused of 'letting down young voters' by capitulating to Labor. Mr Chandler-Mather, 32, was questioned by interviewer Sarah Ferguson on Monday night's episode of ABC's 7.30 Report about whether the Greens, by agreeing to pass two Labor housing bills, had failed the party's base of younger voters. 'Everyday we don't solve the housing crisis I feel like I have let them down a little bit,' an emotional Mr Chandler-Mather said. 'My generation for the first time are probably going to be worse off than our parents. I feel that acutely.' Mr Chandler-Mather's voice wavered as revealed he had 'friends who have been kicked out of their homes because they can't afford the rent or have given up on ever being able to buy a home'. 'And it hurts me a lot, actually, to see that. I find it really hard,' he said. The Greens delayed the Albanese government’s Help to Buy and Build-to-Rent bills for months, pushing for changes to property investor tax concessions and rent rise caps. However, they ultimately supported the bills despite these demands not being met. Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather grew emotional talking about his generation's housing prospects. Ferguson pressed Mr Chandler-Mather, who is the Greens spokesperson on housing, whether the minor party had dropped the demands because they feared electoral backlash for not supporting the Bills. Mr Chandler-Mather, who has been a consistent thorn in Mr Albanese's side, denied this. 'There comes a point when you realise you have pushed as hard as you can,' he said. 'What we have decided is to pass these two Bills and take this fight to the next election.' Although the Greens secured no concessions, Mr Chandler-Mahler said they pressured Labor into questioning negative gearing, the tax break housing investors get for rental properties that many argue dries up homes for first-time buyers. 'We also got close on negative gearing they costed that policy and that would have been the most positive genuine shift of housing policy in generations in Australia,' he said. Mr Chandler-Mather has proven a thorn in the side of the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Read More Anthony Albanese was riding high - then a single taunt about his $115,000 investment property portfolio got under his skin... Housing Minister Clare O'Neil said the two Bills 'have now got a really clear passage through the parliament'. 'I'm glad (the Greens) have finally seen the light,' she said on Monday. 'But it doesn't excuse the fact that they have played politics on housing for two-and-a-half years, and the net effect of the Greens in this term of parliament is to delay action on housing.' The proposed Help to Buy scheme would see the government to contribute 30 per cent of the purchase price of a home or 40 per cent for a new build for those earning under $90,000 for a single applicant or $120,000 for a couple. The government share reduces the cost for the homebuyer, although it must be paid back upon sale. Under the Build to Rent bill tax concessions would encourage the constructing properties for rent. Last year the Greens were able to secure an extra $3 billion of investment for social housing in negotiations for the Housing Australia Future Fund.

The latest bit to get the ax looks to be the cellular modem chip, and a switch to an Apple-made part looks imminent. Currently, Qualcomm makes the modems in your iPhone, but a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims that Apple's in-house modem will debut in 2025. The first iPhone to feature this new modem will reportedly be the iPhone SE 4 , which is expected to launch in the spring of next year. However, Gurman claims that the first version of Apple's modem will be much weaker than the currently available Qualcomm chip. Simply, the modem on your smartphone enables the handset to connect to cell towers so it can make calls and connect to the internet over cellular. Apple wants to surpass Qualcomm by 2027 with increasingly "more advanced" chips, according to the Bloomberg story. Gurman gets more in-depth in the history of Apple's modem development but briefly, Apple has been working on this project since at least 2021, having spent billions including acquiring Intel 's modem group and hundreds of engineers. Interestingly, the first version of the modem, codenamed Sinope, won't be in the flagship iPhone 17 models next year. Instead, it will launch with the iPhone SE 4. The new modem also may feature in the much-rumored iPhone 17 Air and lower-end iPads. It appears the SE 4 will be a real test for Apple's in-house modem. Sinope won't support mmWave, a 5G technology that can handle large download speeds. Instead, it's supposed to feature a Sub-6Ghz standard that's featured on the current iPhone SE , which debuted in 2022. Allegedly, because this new modem will be more integrated with Apple's iPhone systems, it will be more efficient, use less power and better support network connections, despite its downgraded connectivity. Like much of Apple's chip components, Sinope is going to be produced by TSM, who also make the Apple-designed A-series of processors. According to the report, Apple-built modems will feature in more products in 2026, including the iPhone 18. iPad Pros are slated to feature a third-generation modem by 2027. By then, Apple's modem should support mmWave and bigger download speeds. Gurman briefly noted that Apple is considering merging the modem and main processor as one component. With advancing processors and capabilities the iPhone is a powerful device, it will be interesting to see what effect the modem switch will have on Apple's devices. More from Tom's Guide
China's military has once again blamed Washington for the breakdown of talks, with the Chinese Defense Ministry blasting US support to Taiwan as the reason for Chinese defense chief Dong Jun rebuffing a direct request for dialogue from US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin this week. Both leaders were in Laos for meetings with Southeast Asian officials on Thursday. "The responsibility lies fully with the American side," said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian. "The US side cannot undermine China’s core interests on the Taiwan issue, yet at the same time try to conduct exchanges with the [mainland] Chinese military as if nothing had happened," the statement said. Wu explained that the US must "immediately correct its mistake, earnestly respect China’s core interests, and strive to create favorable conditions for high-level exchanges between the two militaries." Austin's reaction was as follows: " It’s unfortunate . It affects the region because the region really wants to see us, you know, two significant players in the region, two significant powers, talk to each other," he told reporters. Just weeks ago, late last month, the Biden administration unveiled $2 billion more in approved arms sales to Taiwan, including an advanced surface-to-air missile defense system , which drew Beijing's swift rebuke and anger. CNN reported earlier that the package "includes three National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and related equipment valued at up to $1.16 billion, according to the US State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs." Radar systems were also listed, at over $800 million. While high level military-to-military contacts between the US and China resumed earlier this year, having been off since then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ultra provocative visit to Taiwan, the official dialogue appears on ice again. Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te is meanwhile planning to visit the self-governing island's allies in the South Pacific in the opening week of December, including the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu and Palau. He might pause in the US while on the tour, which China will watch closely. "Taiwan’s government has yet to confirm whether Lai will make a stop in Hawaii, although such visits are routine and unconfirmed Taiwanese media reports say he will stay for more than one day," The Associated Press writes .Tiger to skip Hero World Challenge after back surgeryGary Neville issues damning Man City 'decline' verdict and points finger at Blues star
Scores of angry workers in Trinidad and Tobago marched outside the Prime Minister’s residence in pouring rain Friday evening, demanding that he calls the general election and put an end to what they say is a “self-serving” salary hike. As reported by the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian, the Oilfield Workers Trade Union (OWTU) was joined by the Communication Workers Union and the Aviation Communication and Allied Workers Union as they protested outside Dr Keith Rowley’s official residence at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, calling for him to “take his band of bandits and go now.” They accused the Government of rushing to fill their pockets with the acceptance of the proposal by the Salaries Review Commission (SRC). The unions are demanding that the report be tabled in the Parliament so it can be debated in front of the people who placed them in office. Braving the rain as they ramped up protest action last evening, workers from the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) shifted gears to picket outside Dr Rowley’s residence. The workers were originally scheduled to picket Flagstaff, Long Circular Road, St James, where Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales is believed to be staying, but later shifted location even though Dr Rowley is currently in Barbados. Despite this, OWTU president general Ancel Roget said Dr Rowley would get the message that the trade union movement was prepared to escalate the action with the hopes of getting them out of office. Roget said the T&TEC workers had not received a salary increase since 2014, and the current negotiations have stalled. Roget told the gathering, “The standard of living of the people in this country has deteriorated rapidly over the last nine years and continues”. Angry as workers continue to suffer, he said, “They would callously and calmly accept an SRC report that gives himself some 47.2 per cent increase in salary.” Giving the government failing grades in the areas of crime, energy and the economy, he added, “It is total mismanagement with arrogance.” Roget vowed, “We are not prepared to take one more minute of this nonsense that passes for governance in this country.” In a media release yesterday, JTUM denounced Dr Rowley and his government’s acceptance of the SRC report, saying it is “arrogant disregard” for workers and citizens struggling to make ends meet. They described it as “self-serving and obscene.” Agreeing that accepting the salary increases is disrespectful, Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) Political Leader David Abdulah noted that Rowley’s justification rested on claims that he and his ministers work hard for the country. Abdulah argued that such a rationale disrespects all the hard-working citizens who the government told to tighten their belts and endure over a decade without meaningful wage increases. Many public servants, he said, have had “four and five per cent rammed down their throats” by Minister of Finance Colm Imbert and Chief Personnel Officer Dr Daryl Dindial. Abdulah believes it indicates that Rowley, who already lives comfortably, is looking out for himself and is unconcerned about the welfare of citizens, many of whom struggle from payday to payday. He urged the trade union movement and citizens to stand up against the decision, calling for protests. “If citizens protest in large enough numbers, then that might force the political directorate, the Prime Minister and others to think twice about what they are doing and to pull back from this decision”. When asked if Cabinet members deserve salary increases, Abdulah underscored that while the SRC conducts job evaluations, it does not carry out performance appraisals. “If Trinidad and Tobago did a performance appraisal, would these politicians deserve a salary increase? I do not think so. Given the high crime rates, an economy in trouble, crumbling infrastructure, and failing institutions, their performance does not warrant such an increase.” -30-Notorious motorcycle snatcher Hassan Abdul finally arrested in Kogi
